    30 Rock: Complexity, Metareferentiality and the Contemporary Quality Sitcom

    30 Rock: Complexity, Metareferentiality and the Contemporary Quality Sitcom Katrin Horn When the sitcom 30 Rock first aired in 2006 on NBC, the odds were against a renewal for a second season. Not only was it pitched against another new show with the same “behind the scenes”-idea, namely the drama series Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. 30 Rock’s often absurd storylines, obscure references, quick- witted dialogues, and fast-paced punch lines furthermore did not make for easy consumption, and thus the show failed to attract a sizeable amount of viewers. While Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip did not become an instant success either, it still did comparatively well in the Nielson ratings and had the additional advantage of being a drama series produced by a household name, Aaron Sorkin1 of The West Wing (NBC, 1999-2006) fame, at a time when high-quality prime-time drama shows were dominating fan and critical debates about TV. Still, in a rather surprising programming decision NBC cancelled the drama series, renewed the comedy instead and later incorporated 30 Rock into its Thursday night line-up2 called “Comedy Night Done Right.”3 Here the show has been aired between other single-camera-comedy shows which, like 30 Rock, 1 | Aaron Sorkin has aEntwurf short cameo in “Plan B” (S5E18), in which he meets Liz Lemon as they both apply for the same writing job: Liz: Do I know you? Aaron: You know my work. Walk with me. I’m Aaron Sorkin. The West Wing, A Few Good Men, The Social Network.

    Eric Newby Worked Briefly in Advertising Before Joininga Finnish Four-Masted Bark in 1938, an Experience He Described in the Last Grain Race

    PENGUIN BOOKS A SHORT WALK IN THE HINDU RUSH Born in London in 1919 and educated at St. Paul's School, Eric Newby worked briefly in advertising before joininga Finnish four-masted bark in 1938, an experience he described in The Last Grain Race. In 1942 he was captured off Sicily while trying to rejoin the submarine from which he had landed to attack a German airfield. When the Snow Comes, They Will Take You Away describes how he escaped with the aid of the woman he subsequently married. For nine years or so he worked in the wholesale fashion business, "tottering up the back stairs of stores with armfuls of stock" (of which he wrote in Something Wholesale), and in a Mayfair couture house. Then he left to explore wildest Nuristan, an expedition hilariously chronicled in A Short Walk in the Hindu Kush. In 1963—after some years as fashion buyer to a chai n of department stores-—together with his wife, Wanda, he made a 1,200-mile descent of the Ganges, described in Slowly down the Ganges. On his return he became travel editor of the Observer. Other books by Eric Newby include Love and War in the Apennines, The World Atlas of Exploration, and Great Ascents. His most recent book, The Big Red Train Ride, an account of his journey from Moscow to the Pacific on the Trans-Siberian Railway, is also published by Penguin Books. He and his wife now live in Devonshire when not traveling abroad.

    國立臺灣師範大學英語學系 碩 士 論 文 Master’s Thesis Department of English National Taiwan Normal University 美國影集的字彙涵蓋量 語料庫分析 The Vocabulary Coverage in American Television Programs A Corpus-Based Study 指導教授：陳 浩 然 Advisor: Dr. Hao-Jan Chen 研 究 生：周 揚 亭 Yang-Ting Chou 中 華 民 國一百零三年七月 July, 2014 國 立 英 臺 語 灣 師 學 範 系 大 學 103 碩 士 論 文 美 國 影 集 的 字 彙 涵 蓋 量 語 料 庫 分 析 周 揚 亭 中文摘要 身在英語被視為外國語文的環境中，英語學習者很難擁有豐富的目標語言環 境。電視影集因結合語言閱讀與聽力，對英語學習者來說是一種充滿動機的學習 資源，然而少有研究將電視影集視為道地的語言學習教材。許多研究指出媒體素 材有很大的潛力能激發字彙學習，研究者很好奇學習者要學習多少字彙量才能理 解電視影集的內容。 本研究探討理解道地的美國電視影集需要多少字彙涵蓋量 (vocabulary coverage)。研究主要目的為：(1)探討為理解 95%和 98%的美國影集，分別需要 英國國家語料庫彙編而成的字族表(the BNC word lists)和匯編英國國家語料庫 (BNC)與美國當代英語語料庫(COCA)的字族表多少的字彙量；(2)探討為理解 95%和 98%的美國影集，不同的電視影集類型需要的字彙量；(3)分析出現在美國 影集卻未列在字族表的字彙，並比較兩個字族表(the BNC word lists and the BNC/COCA word lists)的異同。 研究者蒐集六十部美國影集，包含 7,279 集，31,323,019 字，並運用 Range 分析理解美國影集需要分別兩個字族表的字彙量。透過語料庫的分析，本研究進 一步比較兩個字族表在美國影集字彙涵蓋量的異同。 研究結果顯示，加上專有名詞(proper nouns)和邊際詞彙(marginal words)，英 國國家語料庫字族表需 2,000 至 7,000 字族(word family)，以達到 95%的字彙涵 蓋量；至於英國國家語料庫加上美國當代英語語料庫則需 2,000 至 6,000 字族。 i 若須達到 98%的字彙涵蓋量，兩個字族表都需要 5,000 以上的字族。 第二，有研究表示，適當的文本理解需要 95%的字彙涵蓋量 (Laufer, 1989; Rodgers & Webb, 2011; Webb, 2010a, 2010b, 2010c; Webb & Rodgers, 2010a, 2010b)，為達 95%的字彙涵蓋量，本研究指出連續劇情類(serial drama)和連續超 自然劇情類(serial supernatural drama)需要的字彙量最少；程序類(procedurals)和連 續醫學劇情類(serial medical drama)最具有挑戰性，因為所需的字彙量最多；而情 境喜劇(sitcoms)所需的字彙量差異最大。 第三，美國影集內出現卻未列在字族表的字會大致上可分為四種：(1)專有 名詞；(2)邊際詞彙；(3)顯而易見的混合字(compounds)；(4)縮寫。這兩個字族表 基本上包含完整的字彙，但是本研究顯示語言字彙不斷的更新，新的造字像是臉 書(Facebook)並沒有被列在字族表。 本研究也整理出兩個字族表在美國影集字彙涵蓋量的異同。為達 95%字彙涵 蓋量，英國國家語料庫的 4,000 字族加上專有名詞和邊際詞彙的知識才足夠；而 英國國家語料庫合併美國當代英語語料庫加上專有名詞和邊際詞彙的知識只需 3,000 字族即可達到 95%字彙涵蓋量。另外，為達 98%字彙涵蓋量，兩個語料庫 合併的字族表加上專有名詞和邊際詞彙的知識需要 10,000 字族；英國國家語料 庫字族表則無法提供足以理解 98%美國影集的字彙量。 本研究結果顯示，為了能夠適當的理解美國影集內容，3,000 字族加上專有 名詞和邊際詞彙的知識是必要的。字彙涵蓋量為理解美國影集的重要指標之一， ii 而且字彙涵蓋量能協助挑選適合學習者的教材，以達到更有效的電視影集語言教 學。 關鍵字：字彙涵蓋量、語料庫分析、第二語言字彙學習、美國電視影集 iii ABSTRACT In EFL context, learners of English are hardly exposed to ample language input.
